It's cool making everything about trans.  Doesn't make you seem like you obsess about it at all.

I don't, but it's cool watching you tacitly admit you aren't attracted to trans women, you old LGBTQIA hater!

ROGER KIMBALL: The Art of the Deal, Russian Style.

 

I suspect that the columnist Peter Hitchens, who was in Moscow in 1991 during another failed coup, was right about two things.

 

First, brutal though Putin may be, he is, in comparison to people like Prigozhin, “a cautious, milksop moderate.”

 

Second, Hitchens is right that “militant Russian nationalism is a powerful political force that Putin struggles to keep on his side at the best of times.”

 

These aren’t the best of times, and Prigozhin’s excellent coup adventure, not to mention Putin’s rocky adventure in Ukraine, can’t have endeared Putin to such chthonic forces.

 

The appearance of weakness is unacceptable.

 

It’s also unforgivable.

 

Which means that, political calculus being what it is, Putin, no matter what deal was struck, “surely cannot now leave Prigozhin unpunished.”

Who do you want to stop it? Should Ukraine just surrender to the murderous Putin? 

are there terms. seems like the end goal would be some kind of peace deal. 

 

Those hawks are creating the avenue for another Incident to happen, Nato respond, then find out who actually did what.
